Don’t get cold feet watching this! 🌊 My friend Morgan Maassen (@morganmaassen) just sent me his latest effort and he has captured something fundamental about our connection with the Ocean. “Rán: A Scandinavian Surfing Saga” follows Swedish big-wave charger Freddie Meadows hunting waves from the freezing Baltic Sea, through the North Atlantic, all the way to an Arctic Circle big wave discovery. Snow storms, tiny swell windows, and then one magic morning with snow falling at their feet while they score waves that rival Tahiti and Fiji. They even brought in legends Nic Von Rupp and Andrew Cotton for the mission. As a diver and underwater filmmaker, the raw connection these guys have with the ocean in such brutal conditions is seriously inspiring. Watch the full film at youtube.com/watch?v=-gvwj3… Big props to Freddie and Morgan for pushing limits where most people wouldn’t even go.

The closure of the Strait of #Hormuz is not a temporary disruption - it's the beginning of a systemic agrifood shock that could trigger a severe global food price crisis within six to 12 months, @FAO Chief Economist @MaximoTorero warns. fao.org/newsroom/detai…

La chiusura di Hormuz non impatta solo sul petrolio. “Il 30% dei fertilizzanti commercializzati nel mondo passava dallo Stretto di Hormuz. Questo sta determinando un aumento dei prezzi dei fertilizzanti”. @maumartina, direttore generale aggiunto della @FAO. #InMezzora

+3 years into conflict, Sudan faces the world’s largest food crisis. Half the population is acutely hungry as funding falls and needs rise. Crop production is down 22%, livestock support is minimal and global attention is fading. Sudan cannot wait. It needs real action now.
